lpc

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues
provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of
queues.

If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc will
display a prompt and accept commands from the standard input.

COMMANDS

The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by
the Berkeley lpc program of the same name:

exit

Exits the command interpreter.

help [command]

? [command]

Displays a short help message.

quit

Exits the command interpreter.

status [queue]

Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.

LIMITATIONS

Since lpc is geared towards the Berkeley printing system,
it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class
queues provided by CUPS. To configure printer or class queues
you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another
CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.

COMPATIBILITY

The CUPS version of lpc does not implement all of the
standard Berkeley or LPRng commands.
